Novel Bin Chapter 29
The Dropout
When Ye Leng’an was still lost in thought, a student ran over and asked her to go to the principal’s office, saying that the principal wanted to talk to her.
Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows. Was the principal a psychic? But when she arrived at the principal’s office and saw the people inside, she cast this thought aside.
She greeted Ye Li and Lin Wanqin sitting in the principal’s office with a nod and smile, “Hello, Uncle Ye and Auntie Lin.”
Both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin froze when they heard what Ye Leng’an called them. They were probably used to hearing Ye Leng’an address them as mom and dad. They somewhat felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden change.
After the greeting, Ye Leng’an glanced at the principal of Sheng’an High School, Zheng Anyang. “Principal Zheng, what is it you want to see me about?”
Although she had no idea about what was going on, she knew that this wasn’t a good thing when she saw Ye Li and Lin Wanqin here. Apparently, Ye Xiyuan had done something behind the scenes to make Ye Li and Lin Wanqin come to the school directly. Ye Leng’an hoped that they wouldn’t say they missed her since even a fool wouldn’t believe that.
Zheng Anyang looked at Ye Leng’an without changing his facial expression. He simply repeated the fact, “Mr. and Mrs. Ye came here today to make you quit school. You’re the student, so I think I should ask your opinion.”
He of course had heard about what was between Ye Leng’an and Ye Xiyuan, but he didn’t care about it too much. There were too many rich kids in Sheng’an High School. Whether she left or stayed, it didn’t make any difference. Moreover, the Ye family could only be considered a middle-class wealthy family in the capital.
“Oh, really?” Ye Leng’an wasn’t angry when hearing this. She just shook her head with a smile. “Principal, as you said, I’m the one who’s involved. Then I’ll tell you my thoughts now! I have no intention of dropping out. Moreover, I don’t think they have the right to make me leave school and handle the dropout procedures for me.”
“Good, I understand.” There was amusement in Zheng Anyang’s eyes when he saw Ye Leng’an remain so calm. He turned to Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. “Mr. and Mrs. Ye, you heard that. Since Ye Leng’an doesn’t want to quit school, we can’t force her to do so.”
In the past, he hadn’t paid much attention to Ye Leng’an. It was only recently that he had heard a lot about her and Ye Xiyuan. Today they finally met, but to his surprise, Ye Leng’an wasn’t as willful and arrogant as in those rumors!
Ye Li didn’t expect that his request would be rejected. He suppressed his anger and said, “Principal Zheng, I believe you knew that Leng’an and Xiyuan were swapped when they were little. And we sent Leng’an to this school. Now, the two of them have returned to their respective places. After that, we can’t continue to pay Leng’an’s tuition fees. But since we’ve been together for many years, we’ve already found another school for her. We are here to help her with the dropout procedures today so that she can go to the new school earlier and adapt to the new environment.”
What a high-sounding excuse! It sounded as if they really did so for Ye Leng’an’s sake.
Ye Leng’an just sneered when hearing that. “You don’t have to worry about whether I can afford the tuition fees in the future or not. Anyway, I will not drop out of school today. However, I still have to thank you for your kindness.”
“Leng’an, why did you insist on staying?” Lin Wanqin frowned. “It won’t do you any good if you continue to stay in Sheng’an High School. We are doing this for your own good. You should go to a new school as soon as possible and start a new life.”
“I know that you want me to leave because of Ye Xiyuan.” Ye Leng’an shrugged her shoulders and told the truth. “So there’s no need for you to say it’s for my own good.” New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
“If you stay here, you and Xiyuan will meet every day. Won’t you have any bad thoughts?” Ye Li looked at Ye Leng’an, his expression cold and stern. “Besides, you’ll have to leave sooner or later. Instead of doing this, why don’t you start a new life as soon as possible?”
“Uncle Ye, you don’t have to worry about my business,” Ye Leng’an said firmly. “I have no intention of leaving Sheng’an High School. As for my tuition fees in the future, you two don’t have to worry about it.”
“You…” Ye Li was really angry that Ye Leng’an couldn’t tell the difference between good and bad. “Ye Leng’an, you have to leave now. I’m the one who paid your tuition fees, so I have the right to make you leave.”
“Oh, do you mean that as long as I return the tuition fees to you, I can make my own decision?” Ye Leng’an nodded. “If that’s the case, then give me your bank account number. I’ll return the tuition fees to you now.”
She did not expect Ye Li to say such words. It seemed that he was really furious.
Ye Li was boiling with rage after hearing that. He wanted to say something, but Lin Wanqin tugged at his sleeve and stopped him. This also allowed him to temporarily regain his reason and slowly calm down.
